It was the first ever Blender Project i had done for actual hard cash(i used to exclusively use 3Dstudio Max).. and was also the kind of intensive project that required me to quickly learn as much as i could from youtube etc.. the tutorials in this dvd set will be a huge help with future projects.
In case you didn't know what Sintel is, heres a brief rundown of the project:
The Blender Foundation makes short films with artists and developers who are invited to stay and work with Blender ..the developers helping by making further improvements and additions in the software, while the artists work on the film.. as a showcase of what can be achieved with Blender.
Past projects are Elephants Dream(2006), Big Buck Bunny(2008) and a game called Yo Frankie(2008), read more on them here
For Sintel 12 artists and three developers were invited to come over to Amsterdam for almost a year to create a fantasy action-based 3D shortfilm. As with the previous projects, the end result itself and all of the production files are being published under the Creative Commons, free to be reused and for everyone to learn from. so thats what this box st of 4 dvds had :) Also included is a fantastic bunch of tutorials by the participants in the project.
